Motion Sensor Lighting

Any outdoor light can have a motion sensor or photo control included to help manage lighting. The motion sensor lights up when something passes by the infrared beam and lighting goes on for a specified time. This is a great security and safety device, but also an energy saver, since the light typically stays on for just a few minutes.

A photocontrol or photocell acts more like a timer, and is most commonly found on parking lot lights. The lights turn on at dusk or a certain level of darkness, then turn off in the morning when the sun is rising. Photocells are also used for many outdoor lighting applications.

Depending on how long you want lights to stay on after the sensor detects movement, built-in timers can be adjusted accordingly.

Where Motion Sensors are used?

Motion sensor lights are most effective in areas that aren’t frequently used and don’t need constant illumination overnight. They can be calibrated so they don’t detect too much movement and turn on unnecessarily (such as when leaves or birds fly by). This can be done during installation by limiting the sensor’s field of view and adjusting the distance range setting.

Because a sensor needs a reasonable sensing range — which often depends on mounting location and operating conditions — fixture placement matters. The sensors should be able to see the right subjects at the right times. Installing the fixture too low or too high can limit the field of view.

There are also different types of motion sensors. The type you need depends on the application. Selections can include passive infrared (PIR), active infrared, photoelectric, dual technology and more.

Some motion sensor lights may also include an option to turn the light on manually. If this is a feature you need, be sure to choose the appropriate fixture.

Benefits of sensor lighting

Sensor lights are often only switched on when owners leave their homes after dark. The security sensor lighting only turn on when they detect some movement, they will only be on when necessary like when getting to your home entrance, this implies that they are not costly to maintain.

What to look for in LED sensor lights?

Important factors to consider in LED lighting as sensor lights.

Infrascan motion sensor installation

The Clipsal Infrascan is designed to conveniently turn lights on automatically when movement is detected, and turn off after a pre-set period of time.

Indoor Infra scan sensor lights are suitable for open plan areas, single rooms, offices, laundries, toilets, walk-in robes, hallways and pantries.

The outdoor Infra scan will operate under all weather conditions and features long-range detection with immunity to false triggering.

Infra scans sensor light can be used for garages, driveways, porches and outdoor living areas. They also provide you with peace of mind by automatically lighting up an area to deter intruders and trespassers. Also, it offers enhanced security, convenience and energy savings.

Other types of sensor lights installed – including Ultrasonic, Passive Infared (PIR), and dual technology detectors – for wall and ceiling mounting, with varying detector ranges.

Range of Light

Determine the sections and areas in your property which need security lighting. This is important as it helps you be more energy efficient in that many a time people can find that they only have a small area that needs security lighting. The illumination of security lighting should depend on the area you will install it just so that the light output is not too strong or too little.

Detention Range

Its also important to know how close or far the security lighting can detect movement.The ideal motion sensor range for an open area security light is at least 40 feet. This is to ensure your lights won’t just come on by the activity of neighbours.
